In a post on X on Saturday, he expressed optimism that his meetings with PM Modi would impart new impetus to the relationship.
"Honoured to call on President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil @LulaOficial, visiting India on a State Visit.

Before this, on Wednesday, he stated that the opening of the first European Legal Gateway Office in India is "not just a facilitation for entry into Europe" but also a bridge between the societies in both regions as well as an expression of trust and investment in a shared global workforce.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony of the office, EAM Jaishankar highlighted the broader context of global economic transformation, noting the need for countries to manage talent flows while ensuring legality, transparency, and fairness.
"We are living through a period of profound transformation in the global economy. De-risking is a growing priority. Supply chains are being reconfigured. Technology is reshaping work. Demographics are diverging sharply across geographies. The concept of a global workforce is an emerging reality. Countries that can connect talent flows with seizing opportunity, while ensuring legality, transparency and fairness, will be best positioned to navigate this transition," he said.
"The European Legal Gateway Office is not just a facilitation for entry into Europe; it is a bridge between our societies, an expression of our trust, and an investment in a shared global workforce that is skilled, mobile, and resilient," he said. (ANI)
